These tenements lying south of the Longford stream were acquired by Thomas Richardson from several landowners between 1832 and 1836. The individual tenements, held of both the manor of Barcombe and the manor of Warningore, had been merged into larger units much earlier. Where possible the approximate position of the tenements has been identified but the actual bounds are uncertain. Much of the difficulty is caused by two tenements both called Scufflings, one in Barcombe and one in Warningore. Both originated as a collection of discrete acres in common fields which only later nucleated into the field patterns with which we are familiar. It is clear that only one of the houses survives, whether the house should be associated with the Warningore or Barcombe tenement remains uncertain although Warningore is maginally more likely. Many of the tenements were free, which allowed this rationalization of holdings, but as such were ill-recorded in manor records. Down Coppice (The Downe) and Longford were both associated with the tenement named Worgers in the Barcombe manor rental of 1565, but The Downe cannot be identified as an individual tenement after that date. However it was included in the sale by Lucas Shadwell to Richardson in 1836 that included both Longford (Barcombe manor) and Agmonds (Warningore manor). Some of the land near Scufflings was associated with Whitehoad Common which was enclosed by agreement in 1574 (23). Curiously more acres are recorded in these tenements than were said to remain in the common then, possibly part had been enclosed earlier. Agmonds Wood must be associated with the Agmond family taxpayers in Barcombe in 1327 and 1332. Dollicks Lane identified on a map of c1760-1780 evolved to become Dallas Lane. The names Burnt House field and Old House field suggest the possible position of some of the early messuages (dwellings) now lost, possibly the other Scufflings or the Dollicks tenement. Following an exchange agreement between George Grantham and Frederick Smith (Shenstone) in 1870 the land to the south of Anchor Lane was retained as part of the Barcombe Place estate and land to the north of the lane was incorporated in the Sutton Hall estate. For the rest of Richardson's extensive estate see P113/53, TA 90; P113/53/1, TA 428; P113/53/2,TA 658; P113/53/3, TA 560. |
